Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed communication hub and advertisement on the character and appearance of the local area
  • The effect on public safety with particular regard to footway users along High Street

What decided it

The proposed hub and advertisement would materially harm the character and appearance of the conservation area by creating visual clutter and appearing overly dominant and visually intrusive, and the public benefits were insufficient to outweigh this significant harm.

The public benefits of communications technology access, defibrillator provision, and public announcements were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area
